According to Kep1er Entertainment on the 20th, Kep1er‘s 6th mini album ‘TIPI-TAP’ has entered Billboard’s main album chart ‘Billboard 200’ at 147th place for the first time since their debut.
This ranking is a new record for themselves, far surpassing the achievements they made on various Billboard charts last week, and Kep1er has proven their global growth with chart performance. It is especially meaningful in that it is the first album released after Kep1er was reorganized as a seven-member group.
Kep1er has not only entered Billboard‘s main chart this week, but has also stood out on various sub-charts, breaking their own highest records every day. On the ‘Top Album Sales’ chart, it soared from 35th place last week to 7th place, and on the ‘Top Current Album Sales’ chart, it also rose from 28th place to 7th place.
On the ‘Heatseeker’ chart, which highlights the achievements of emerging artists, it rose from 21st place last week to 2nd place. The ‘Emerging Artist’ chart, which comprehensively calculates streaming, album sales, and radio airplay for artists with growth potential, also jumped from 14th place last week to 2nd place. On the ‘World Albums’ chart, it rose from 11th place last week to 4th place.
Kepler’s growth is also evident in Luminate data. On the ‘Top New Artist Albums’ chart, which is based on sales of emerging artists, it rose from 2nd place last week to 1st place this week. In addition, it proved its strength on the digital platform by rising from 11th to 3rd place on the ‘Internet Album’ chart.
Kepler has once again impressed its global fandom solidarity and musical competitiveness through its entry into the Billboard main chart. In particular, the detailed rankings that have risen significantly compared to last week show its global status that is steadily growing overseas, raising expectations for its future activities.
